An interview with Professor Alicia Aarnio, founding member of AAS WGAD, talking about her stellar science, and the joy and rage of navigating science with a disability.
The bared minimum: Revealing a new phase of stellar activity in HD 166620
Four centuries ago, the Sun entered a long phase of low activity. Newly-presented data suggests that the star HD 166620 is now doing the same thing!
(almost) No Time (for stars) to Die
How long does it take for a star’s core to collapse in a supernova explosion? Today’s authors use observations to place new constraints on the explosion timescale!
Tell me the velocity of a star without telling me its velocity
Stars like hiding their ages! In today’s paper, the authors inferred velocities of thousands of stars, which will help to determine their ages!
Could Companion Stars Cause Stripped-Envelope Supernovae?
How do you make a supernova without hydrogen and helium lines? The answer may surprise you! (It’s probably binary stars)
